In his defense, I think he's very young and got totally bamboozled by his recruiter but goddamn is it funny.

3 weeks is a really short time to become a pilot

Bwahaha

Not if you don't plan to stay in the air for very long.

He never said he wanted to be a good pilot.

All the way to the scene of the crash.

There are times where I want to believe the best about those who wear the uniform. That they, inspired by their patriotism and sense of duty, have made an informed decision to serve their brothers and their country.

I want to believe I work with some of America's best and brightest........and then it all comes crashing down...Like an NG recruit who wanted to join airborne so they can learn to fly planes. At least he has gained some semblance of self-realization.

I went to basic with a girl who didn't realize that the Army actually did give you a real rifle. She also didn't know what her MOS was. And only signed up because her mom told her to.

I've been disillusioned since day 1.

She got voted unanimous Worst Soldier at the end of the cycle by the entire platoon and finally had a moment of realization that the DSs telling her that she fucking sucked wasn't just an act. She was some sort of mechanic so I saw her a couple times around Ordnance Island at Lee when I was there for Phase 1. I talked to her once and she had student leader position and seemed to have finally realized where she was. She ended up having to restart her AIT because of a SHARP incident against her, last I heard it was legitimate complaint but I never heard the details nor did I really want to ask. So she was there for a while.

I lost track of her after I left Lee. She didn't have a Facebook and we weren't real close to begin with. I don't even remember her actual name, just her nickname (nothing crazy, just her home state.)

But she stuck it out and is out there somewhere as far as I know. Didn't quit even when she realized what it actually all meant, so that much is admirable.

[–]Kyosama66CG Fort Couch 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Goddamn. To get basically Shanghaied into service like that and then stick it out (after SHARP even). She sounds better than some of the guys I worked with that WANTED to join.

I met a cook who said she didn't know what a mos was when she enlisted. she thought everyone just did solider things. that was until she showed up to cook school....

I met her as she was re-classing to 68w a few years later

story time?

[–]maine8524 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Basically when my recruiter read off my job options I'd Google them, read the goarmy.com description, put it into common terms(I.E. 88M Transportation specialists? Congrats your a truck driver!), then use the search filter here for a general opinion. He really tried to push 74D on me but I'm not the greatest at chemistry and read more than a few posts/comments on here that said those guys suffer more often than not. So rather than get a job I'd be mediocre at/hate I got one where I'd be pretty good at(46Q) with a higher bonus and a better ship date.

That's funny as hell. Guess I can't knock the recruit to hard, that recruiter is a dick.

[–]ColonelError11B/79R/29E 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (3子コメント)

While yes, he and most NG recruiters are assholes, you do have to place some blame on the recruit that couldn't do a modicum of research before trying to be a pilot.

[–]19KiloSpirit Animule 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think, after reading the quoted comment, that research is going to be his stronk suit...

does it matter if i go to community college? or should i apply to a prestigious university

[–]hawaiianthunder91Braap 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yea fuck my recruiter, he told me I could get my student loans paid for by signing 6 years. Come back from AIT and realize it wasn't in my contract. Sure I am to blame because I signed but the fucker knew I had debt and that was my first taste of the green weenie.

[–]Jcc123 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not so sure. Other posters tried several times to explain it to him and he still asked the same fucking stupid questions over and over. I'm siding with the recruiter on this one.
